She's Alive!

Cambodia News (Kampong Chhnang): On Monday night, 3 October 2022, in Chumpear village, Prey Kry commune, Choul Kiri district, Kampong Chhnang province, there was a giant thunderstorm at 7:40 pm.
In an incredible sequence of events set off by a bolt of lightning, a palm tree was struck by lightning, causing it to fall over and break a power line, which in turn fell on or near a 34 year old woman named Lang Sokhea, giving her an enormous shock.
The electric shock caused the woman to pass out for a while, but she was buried in some sand and mud, (a debatable, but common Cambodian method for treating electric shock victims)while waiting for help. She was then taken to the local health center, where she is expected to recover.

Amazing Cambodia.

I guess thats proof to Cambodians that the sand / mud treatment really works.

I’ve asked a few times, and nobody (khmer) has ever managed to give an explanation as to why this is done. Ultimately, this is done because it has always been done this way.

Throwing sand on fire? Who knows?
It’s amazingly difficult to change bizarre ideas if nobody knows why they do a particular thing to begin with..

Replying to Freightdog, a scientific response is required, perhaps they believe any "residual" electrical current will be grounded by doing this????

It would be just as useful to plug her into your mobile phone for a free battery re-charge.
